I wait with bated breath for the UPS man so that I can harrass him for my license and do my wally walk. I think I need to go shopping tomorrow for milk or other things or to go walk around

Great! Way to go. Now your are going to be set for that Wally walk.

At 62 years of age, I have a tendency to forget things, and the one thing I forgot was to thank you all for the kind words. Thanks all. I wish you all the best of luck, and hope that you too will see the words that came up for me this morning. I was, like a few other, starting to loose hope, but I kept the hope going, and all woked out well. Hang in there my cyber friends.

I just wonder if this is going to be a blessing or a curse? Only time will tell.

You all are so lucky, I have to drive 98 miles to get to a Wal Mart.

sir, i would call you lucky if you live that far from a Walmart

Thanks for the kind words, but sometimes you just need to drive those 98 miles to get that fix. Living out here in the middle of God's country is great, but there are those times you just need to see the lights of big cities. Its just the way it is. Doesn't happen a lot, but its fun to eat at a chain restaurants,and walk thru a mall. I know it sounds crazy, but its fun. By the way, the next largest city is another 100 miles away from there. (Midland/Odessa). Look up Marfa, TX on the map

Darn, I forgot all about the gun show in Odessa. Was there a good turn out? Out this way you would never think that we would have a background check problem, but today is my 100th day for Presidio County.

We certainly don't have a DPS problem out here, heck we have more LEO's then citizens!

You all are so lucky, I have to drive 98 miles to get to a Wal Mart. Will going to an Alco count? Or maybe our local True Value Hardware? By the way, living out in the middle of Presidio County has not been easy for me either, two more days and I get to the 100 day mark since mailing off my packet. Its tough all over.
